Grootbos Foundation - Conservation in Action
The Conservation Research Unit has been hard at work – both behind the scenes in the office and out in the field among the fynbos.
Sharing Knowledge to Grow Conservation
The Grootbos Foundation’s Green Futures College and nursery team recently hosted five days of hands-on fynbos propagation training for our conservation partners from the Nuwejaarswetland Special Management Area.
Here’s what the week looked like:
Day 1: An introduction to the wonders of fynbos
Day 2: Seed assessments and cleaning
Day 3: Smoking seeds and sowing them
Day 4: Bagging rooted cuttings
Day 5: Collecting cuttings on the reserve
Well done to the Nuwejaarswetland SMA team for your energy and eagerness to learn. And a big thank you to our nursery staff, whose willingness to share their skills is helping build a strong, collaborative conservation community in the Overberg.
